Fall is here and it is beautiful. The weather is still nice with more sunny days than rainy. We took advantage of one blue sky sunny day to go to a corn maze and pumpkin patch with cousin Dave, Kim, Damon and Melynn. We had a hay ride, roasted peach with ice cream (which was awesome!) and roasted corn. The kids got to ride on the famous cow train. Each ride was around 15 minutes long around the farm. It went for a whole lot longer than we thought it would go for only $3. Well worth it. We had so much fun that I ran out of time and couldn't get home on time to get changed for the RS Women's Broadcast and I showed up in jeans. Wow I felt like a convert but thankfully my friends made sure to tell me I looked cute and comfortable. The theme for RS broadcast was "for with what judgment ye judged ye shall be judged". Down the row my friends and I were winking at each other during President Monson's talk. That was great.
The week after RS Broadcast we anxiously anticipated General Conference. We watched it on our computer and made pancakes and egss and Seattle's Famous Trophy cupcakes to share with Dave and Kim and family. Reena had so much fun playing with her cousins while her mommy shows off her skills in hula hoop to everyone. I really didn't know I was that good. I went 3 minutes and only stopped because my hips were getting tired. Dan and Dave had a great time with new technologies, specifically Dan showing off her Kindle which he finally decided to buy after I got the iphone from Denny at the House of Hope. We also took advantage of the Salmon Fest and went to the Salmon Hatchery for the first time since we've been here. We didn't know it was such a huge thing with bands playing and booths and food! Next year we'll have to save up and spend on some goodies.
